Listen to this episode from Acid Horizon on Spotify. Join our latest reading groups here: patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcast"Creativity and Intoxication" with Adam C. Jones: https://thenewcentre.org/seminars/creativity-and-intoxication/In this episode, we explore Félix Guattari’s essay "Everybody Wants to Be a Fascist", dissecting its critique of micro-fascisms in everyday life. The discussion examines how desire, power, and subjectivity become entangled in oppressive structures beyond traditional authoritarianism. Drawing from Guattari’s solo work and his collaboration with Gilles Deleuze, we analyze how resistance must operate at both individual and collective levels to escape fascistic formations in contemporary society.The essay: https://www.revue-chimeres.fr/IMG/pdf/everybody-wants-to-be-a-fascist.pdfSupport the showSupport the podcast:Current classes at Acid Horizon Research Commons (AHRC): https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-mainWebsite: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcast Boycott Watkins Media: https://xenogothic.com/2025/03/17/boycott-watkins-statement/ Join The Schizoanalysis Project: https://discord.gg/4WtaXG3QxnSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438Merch: http://www.crit-drip.comSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast platform: https://pod.link/1512615438 LEPHT HAND: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHANDHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam’s blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.com​Split Infinities (Craig’s Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/​Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/
